Hi!
IXNAT:
I sat on reserve for 240 consecutive hours, and was then called for a trip.
I sat on reserve for about 72 consecutive hours, and was then called at 0300 hours, after 1/2 hour of sleep, to be in Operations within 25 minutes, for a 16 hour duty day.
I did a 25 hour duty day (2 man crew).
I knews guys that were asked to count one of there 24 hour reserve periods as a day off, retroactively.
My roomate had a VERY long duty day, and LOTS of flight hours, from FWA-Yellowknife, and then had to do a tail-end ferry from Yellowknife to El Paso.
At a -121 airline, all FAA approved.
